It’s luminous yellow?

My partner made me a bath with the sticky dates bubble bar and the sticky dates bath bomb. I was expecting it to be kinda brownish in colour but the bath water is like highlighter yellow! In photos it’s coming up the colour I expected it to be but in person it looks like I’m in someone’s dehydrated and slightly radioactive urine 🤣 it’s bizarre

as the title states, I am a chronic side sleeper but I've seen a lot of things suggesting that sleeping in a reclined position with my head raised 6-8 inches up may help with POTS / postural tachycardia. I really struggle sleeping on my back and I was wondering if it would be worth getting one of those big pillows? What ones are best? If you have any other tips n tricks that may help please let me know!

I recently got some protein oat bars to try, I've been eating one a day and enjoyed trying a new flavour from my variety box each day... Until last night lol
I was laying down reading and as I sat up to take my evening dose of meds the room started spinning and I was overcome with INTENSE dizziness. I tried to check my BP but my monitor is terribly unreliable (I've ordered a new one that's british heart foundation approved so hopefully it's better), I checked my blood sugar - all good, HR wasnt even too bad... 5-10 mins later and my stomach is CRAMPING, BADLY. Waves of cramps, feet and hands are freezing, I'm struggling to warm up and I am nauseous ... Then the diarrhoea started and it all made sense fml

Turns out, polyols draw water into your bowel and can cause a laxative effect. My BMs had been a lil slow recently so I was also making sure I ate a good amount of fibre everyday that I was eating the oat bars too. Double whammy...

So heed my warning, people! Check the labels properly of things you're eating regularly because stuff that 'may produce laxative effect' could fast track you into dehydration!

I started feeling a bit better as soon as I got a good amount of water with electrolytes in me, I'm still not back to my baseline but good god I felt like I was going to be checking out of life last night with how messed up it made me!
